It's a shame to see the Million Mile promotion of 2000 come to such an acrimonious end, with accusations, counter-accusations, etc. In my opinion, the promotion benefited LatinPass/GlobalPass and its member airlines as well as the flyers who participated in the promotion.

I read all the threads on this forum and don't recall any slanderous comments made about Guy Booth or GlobalPass, just some frustration at the sudden rule changes in June and the later seemingly retroactive rule changes by either Taca or GlobalPass, who knows for sure. As well, the credit card fraud experienced by so many GlobalPass posters of this forum (myself included) was also an issue that was discussed with what was in my opinion an effort to make GP aware of a potential problem, rather than place blame.

I myself am still benefiting from the 500,000+ miles I earned. My dad is leaving this week for a trip to Bolivia on Taca in business class. As well, I've got four more biz class tickets to Costa Rica: two at Christmas and two in January 2006 for my parents. These were booked in June before the deadline.

Despite the occasional bumps along the way, when looking back I'm still very positive about the way everything has turned out for me. For $1,100 I had a great two week adventure in 2000 and additonally earned nine biz class tickets for me and my family to destinations such as Guatamala, Buenos Aires, and soon, Bolivia and Costa Rica. What have I really got to complain or be angry about? Life's too short!
